Warm, comforting Crock Pot Chicken Noodle Soup made with tender chicken, veggies, and ditalini pasta—easy, hearty, and perfect for cozy family dinners.
1 1/2cupsDitalini Pastaor egg noodles or other pasta
Instructions
Place chicken breasts (frozen or thawed) into your crockpot and then pour 8 cups of chicken broth on top.
After chicken is placed in crockpot, grab a medium skillet. Start by warming the olive oil in the skillet and then add celery and carrots. Cook for 3 minutes or until vegetables are softened.
Add the celery and carrots to the crockpot. Add the rest of the spices to the crockpot: garlic powder, beau monde, onion powder and oregano.
Cook on high for 2 1/2 hours or until the chicken is tender enough to be shredded. *Time may vary depending on if your chicken was frozen or thawed.
Once the chicken is tender, remove from the crockpot and shred it apart with two forks.
Place the shredded chicken back into the crock pot.
Add ditalini noodles and cook for 20-30 minutes.
Serve soup right away. *If soup is left in crockpot, the noodles will continue to cook and may become mushy. It is best to turn off the crockpot right after the soup is ready to serve.
Optional: Garnish bowls with fresh parsley
Notes
Recipe Tips
Diced chicken is a great substitute for chicken breasts. Simply cook the diced chicken in a skillet prior to putting it into the crockpot or stock pot.
Beau Monde adds extra flavor to this soup. If you find yourself without it, add ½ teaspoon more garlic powder and onion powder. Another good substitute would be celery salt.
It’s important not to overcook the ditalini pasta in the crockpot. Keep an eye on the cooking time and if you are not ready to serve the soup yet, turn the crockpot off when the pasta is still slightly firm.
Cook time may vary depending on what size crockpot you use. This recipe works best in a 5-7 quart crockpot.
